Beer Review: Saint of Circumstance

Emily and I walked passed our local alcohol shop when we saw that they were hosting a beer tasting. Since I don't turn down free alcohol (EVER), we went inside. The brewery was Berkshire Brewing Co., a local brewery that has a fairly wide selection to choose from (including one that tastes like coffee). I … Continue reading Beer Review: Saint of Circumstance →

Beer Review: Dogfish Head Red & White

Beer recommended by Stan Stolowski I've decided I really like these aged beers. They have more complex flavors and those flavors are far more appealing. For example, I've had cherry flavored beers before and I've also had Sam Adam's American Kriek, which is a brew aged with Hungarian cherries and barrels and other things. Cherry … Continue reading Beer Review: Dogfish Head Red & White →

Beer Review: Goose Island’s Bourbon County Stout

This beer scares me. I won't lie to you on that front. It's a beer that's been aged in a bourbon cask. It has a scary high alcohol content for a beer(13%) and its qualities out of the bottle are terrifying. I'm actually taking notes, because I'm worried I won't survive the tasting process. This … Continue reading Beer Review: Goose Island’s Bourbon County Stout →

Beer Review: St. Victorious Doppelbock

After last week's success with the Troegenator Doublebock, I decided to try a different one, this one the St. Victorious by Victory. This one...not such a big fan. It's a good beer: very sturdy tasting, kind of bitter, but not overwhelmingly so. It's not leadheavy and while it tastes a little bit belgiany, it's not … Continue reading Beer Review: St. Victorious Doppelbock →

Beer Review: Troegenator DoubleBock

I'm noticing a distinct trend here: almost all the beers I've chosen to review have been really dark. Generally speaking, that's because I prefer darker beers. I still don't know how to describe the flavor in Belgian beer (hoppy? yeasty? bad?), but I know I can safely avoid it if I get a beer too … Continue reading Beer Review: Troegenator DoubleBock →

Recipe: Lil’ Griddlin’s

I haven't talked about it much, but I do a fair amount of cooking. I've long ago conquered the egg and ramen is no longer beyond me. After all this experience, I've decided to share with you, my lucky readers, a recipe I made up just yesterday. I call it Lil Griddlin's, because cutesy names … Continue reading Recipe: Lil’ Griddlin’s →

Beer Review: Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale

As I mentioned in my last review, I really like Guinness and other dark, bitter beers. So I grabbed Dogfish Head's Indian Brown Ale. Unfortunately, I made a mistake. I drank it on the warmer side of cool. While any warm beer is pretty unpleasant, this was like coating my tongue in a beery syrup. But that's … Continue reading Beer Review: Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale →

Beer Review: Leffe Blonde

So we're going to try this beer reviewing thing again, this time without the drunken antics. Unfortunately for you, I don't know much about the vocabulary necessary to describe the flavors and tastes of beer. So this means a lot of winging it and confusing, muddled adjectives. I hope you're excited, cause I'm excited. Leffe-Blonde … Continue reading Beer Review: Leffe Blonde →

A Mopsy Proposal

I have a theory and it involves deliciousness. My hypothesis is this: if you were to feed an animal enough something, that animal would taste like that something. To wit; if you were to feed a chicken a substantial amount of pepper, the chicken would then arrive at the dinner table pre-peppered. Which leads to … Continue reading A Mopsy Proposal →

Beer Review: Spaten Optimator

As part of my blog's ever-present need to grow, I've decided to add a new feature: I'm going to occasionally review a new beer. Here is my first review: So this is my new blog feature. I've decided that I should new things. Like reviewing beers and the like. So I picked this. Beer reviewing … Continue reading Beer Review: Spaten Optimator →
